*REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN HERE!*
We are delighted that the inaugural Music and Parental Wellbeing Symposium (MPWS) will be taking place at the Royal College of Music London and online on 22-23 July 2025.
MPWS 2025 will bring together interdisciplinary and international delegates to advance understanding of how music can support parental wellbeing. The Symposium will include in-person and online joining options and there will be no registration fee.
The two days will include keynote sessions featuring Jaliba Kuyateh with Professor Lauren Stewart and Dr Bonnie McConnell; Professor Helen Shoemark with Kirsty Jane; and Dr Alain Gregoire. There will be a series of parallel sessions based on delegate contributions, digital poster sessions, breaks and discussion times, and a policy-facing panel and roundtable discussion. The event will see the planned launch of an alliance to push forwards future work on music and parental wellbeing.
We expect to release the schedule for the event in April 2025.
Please watch this space for further information. We very much look forward to welcoming delegates to MPWS 2025!!
